Frigidaire WF2CB PureSource2 Ice & Water Filtration

Once again, we’re diving into the world of refrigerator filters: those that you simply cannot avoid and have to refill. Because of that, we would like you to get your money’s worth and will review PureSource2 by Frigidaire amongst the others.

Water filters take care of our health and it’s important that we invest in good ones, so we would advise you not to be too cheap when it comes to these! With the growth of the companies that are polluting our water, this is your best option to preserve your health! 

Even if you won’t be ordering the filter online or you decide that another one may be compatible, it is always good to find out and know the key terms one uses when investigating a bit more. Let’s get started!

Features

What refrigerators is this product compatible with?

Well, we can’t really tell you right away because there is a ton of refrigerators out there and naming all of them is not a possibility. Luckily, the manufacturer already thought about this and decided to make a website that helps you find out which one you need and to check the compatibility of the one currently open on your web.

Most refrigerators of the „front casette“ type that are made by the company Frigidaire will be a match, but we cannot be 100% certain, so we advise you to check it so you don’t waste any cash.

What does it filter?

Great question, and possibly the most important one. When it comes to refrigerator filters, many of them just filter minerals and create „soft water“. For picky people, this is a win situation. However, not a win-win one, since all of the possible toxins are still in the water.

Frigidaire WF2CB PureSource2 filter gets rid of both organic and inorganic toxic particles, which is exactly what you’re looking for in a fridge filter. It gets rid of cysts, turbidity, lead, mercury, herbicides, alachlor, atraxine, toxaphene and also sediments. These are your biggest concerns, along with the chlorine that is also being filtered and the water remains with no odor or taste.

The efficiency Frigidaire PureSource2 has with Class 1 toxins like sand, rust, and the soil is very high, but Class 2 and Class three are also all higher than 90%. Your water will feel and look very clear as well: no cloudiness.

What about the standards?

The manufacturer can state any number he wants, right? If that’s what you’re afraid of, don’t worry, this filter has been certified by NSF/ANKI. The two standards that have been met are 42 and, the most popular one, 53.

The numbers?

Well, the flow should be about 2 liters in a minute, but this number can go down as the filter is getting older and more empty. The active ingredients wear off a bit and you will have to stand by your refrigerator a bit longer. 

The Frigidaire states that you shouldn’t have to switch the filter up too often: you are getting about nine months of use, according to them. Let us give you a piece of advice: never believe the months, search for the gallons.

You’re getting 200 gallons or 760 liters, and it’s really up to you to see how long it will last. If you pour out 2 liters daily, you’re getting about a year of usage. If you use 1 liter daily, you’re getting two years. However, if everyone in your household drinks 2 L a day, the number gets much lower.

Pros:

• very efficient
• filters out both organic and inorganic toxins
• can last long if you don’t use more than 2 L a day
• you can easily check the compatibility with your fridge

Cons:

• does not filter fluoride
• possible leaks because of the material the case is made of
• no indicator light to tell you when the filter is down
• can be a bit of a pain to install if you haven’t done it yet

Summary

The Frigidaire PureSource2 filtration system is an interesting one. If you’re willing to be careful with the installation and very gentle while handling the product before putting it on it’s working place, you should be totally fine. The efficiency is truly worth it and you can save quite a lot of cash if you don’t use too much water daily.
